To all '107mm t may concern Be it known that l, Ificwmfi'N L. Mivririus, a citizen of the United States, residing in Rochester, iii thecounty of Moni'oe and State ot' New York, have invented certain new and useful ln'iproveinents in ('oiiiliin'ed li`roiit-Levei and Type-Bar Supports, of which the 'following tlm). i

rlliis invention relate and combiningi certain niacliines as to cii'ect in inateiial and tinie such inachines.

'.l`o exeiiiplity. in the lloyal typewriter for support for the tri-int levers oi actuatini deviccs consists of a ally iii the iiiacliiiie and by suitablyr faced cnil bearings is attached to counter faced bearings `fornied on the innei sides of the side 'walls of the niain fi'aiiie; the type bar head rest also consists o a separate bar curved in two directions to cori'esi'iond to the arcuate `ari'aiigr'einentv of the type bai' heads when at rest, and is also, by suitable faced bearings. secured to the side walls of the inain franic. This bar is adjacent the front lever support and `these two devices or parts of the machines always occupy the saine positions relative lto one another.

These parts in the manufacture are cast or tooled separately and are seiiai'atelv set, secured and adjusted in operati ve positions in the main frame. By th is invention they .are integral, being cast or formed as a unit, and so require one tooling operation as regards the bearingr siii'fiicfes,"'one iiieans of attaohment to the main frame and one adjusting operation. Tn the acc reference wil scribe the in Figure 1 isV to so constructing parts ot' typewritin'g r a (,'oiisiderable saving in the manufacture oft' instance, the the type bai' bar arranged later l i present practice ot' foi-ined separately,
